Immaculately clean throughout the property. Breakfast is available upon request the day prior and was delicious and cheap. A good location in Prawirotaman area with plenty of restaurants nearby, far away from other attractions though. Be aware it is down a narrow street so if taking a grab you will need to order it/get out from the hardware shop two minutes up the street. Super friendly staff who cleaned the room when requested. The beautiful cat that hangs around outside really made our stay! Would stay again. Also if you're planning on visiting Borobudur book in advance, tours sell out incredibly quickly!

As other reviews mention the nearby mosques (and chickens) are very loud, even earplugs won't help much, but of course the homestay cannot do anything about this.

Some places you have to see to experience and this is one of those places. Palem Kipas is a lovely serene place in Yogyakarta that has perfect feng shui. The place is impeccably clean and peaceful, the rooms are light and airy, and the beds are big and comfy. Breakfast is well prepared and is eaten in a peaceful garden. The property is a good location close to attractions nearby. The host is gracious and helpful.

It’s true that the mosque nearby can be loud and does project sound late/early in the morning. However we found with good ear plugs and the aircon running, this did not disturb our sleep. Also to be aware it is a short few minute stroll from a main road to here down a narrow road (most taxis won’t go down the road as it’s too narrow).

The place looks exactly like the pictures: a big and beautiful house with lots of open spaces and incredible rooms. Our room was spacious, well-organized, and spotless, with a large and lovely bathroom as well. Extra points for the bed—it was super comfy and spacious! It offers great value for money, and we couldn’t recommend it more! It was by far the BEST stay during our 22-day trip!

Yes, you may hear the prayer call early in the morning, but just keep in mind that you’re in an Islamic country, and it lasts only a few minutes. So don’t worry—you won’t regret staying here!

Djodi has a very calming and zen presence. He was always helpful during our stay and his staff/family as well. The room is spacious, very clean and well maintained. The bathroom is definitely above standard, especially compared to southern East Asian standards. There was a small balcony in our room where we enjoyed our free coffee every morning. It's true that it can get noisy in the morning due to the mosque and neighbouring animals but, in all honesty, if you want to make the most of Yogya and surrounding attractions, you need to get up early anyway. Use it as an excuse to see early sunlight. We enjoyed everything, we felt welcomed and we would go back.

We ended up changing last minute from a cheap hostel to this place to treat ourselves to a comfortable stay (after a few weeks of roughing it) and we are SO glad we did! Every detail is thought out, easy check in/check out, incredibly friendly and accommodating staff who helped us hire a motorbike and left us goodies. So much space to lay out our suitcases and very very clean! The bathroom is gorgeous. We felt right at home here. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. The property is well kept and secure. 10/10 and would recommend to anyone! If we come back to Yogyakarta we will definitely be staying here again. Also there’s an excellent Mediterranean restaurant right nearby if you’re a foreigner looking for western and/or vegetarian food that we LOVED and ordered from/went to most nights. Perfect 👌🏻

Nothing at all. One of the best places we stayed in our whole 2.5 months travelling!

Simply one of the best places I have ever stayed at. A peaceful haven of well thought out quality facilities where everything just worked so well. The breakfast each morning served in a lovely garden courtyard was a highlight I looked forward to everyday. It was different every day - beautifully presented and always delicious. Each night I could stroll to the nearby restaurants for an authentic Indonesian dinner. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Nothing.

Immacculately clean, light, airy and well appointed. The bedroom was large - lots of space for the traveller to spread out, with an excellent bathroom. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious - the best cooking we had encountered so far in our 8 days in Indonesia and so beautifully presented. Its half an hour walk from the sultan's palace but it's in a nice quiet alley and there are restaurants within easy walking distance. Highly recommended.

It's very close to a mosque if the early morning call to prayer bothers you.

This is a fantastic option for Yogyakarta, just outside the kraton, a posh country house in a private and intimate enclave close to fashionable cafes, restaurants and bars. The guesthouse is relatively small and includes only a few rooms, is very spacious, well-appointed and private. Everything is just perfect; everything you need is in the comfortable and perfectly-maintained rooms. The breakfasts are simple but impeccable, and the hosts extremely helpful and gracious. Excellent modern and elegant sanitary facilities compliment the room. Electricity, wifi, AC, and hot water are all great. Highly recommend this place - it was my favorite accommodation option in my last trip to the country.

There is a construction project going on across the alley the guesthouse is located on, but given that they tend not to use heavy machinery and only work daytime hours, it wasn't that a big deal. The place is otherwise extremely private and quiet.

This is genuinely the best accommodation I have stayed at in Indonesia! In four years of traveling throughout the country (including Jogja, Bali, Jakarta, and Sumatra), I haven't found a place as comfortable or well-designed as this. The room has everything you need, and is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The owners are lovely and provided us with extra pillows when we asked. The location is super close to what we consider the best restaurant in Jogja (called Mediteranea — check it out!). And overall the facilities are spacious, quiet and comfortable for working. Plus, they provide free tea and coffee. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Nothing

The homestay is, firstly, an absolutely stunning building. It is so open, light, and airy, and very tastefully decorated. The rooms have high ceilings and lovely furniture. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast is very tasty and the menu changed each day we were there. The room and bathroom are spotlessly clean. The homestay is in a good location, near lots of good restaurants, shops, and near to the tourist attractions. Djodi, the host, is additionally a very warm, kind, and helpful man. This really is a special place and if I came back to Yogyakarta I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. It's fantastic value for money. Thank you so much!
